Police arrest pro-Palestinian protesters after takeover of Columbia University building| VOA News

▶ The New York City Police Department (NYPD) began arresting and dispersing pro-Palestinian protesters Tuesday at a Columbia University building who began occupying it nearly 24 hours earlier.
👉 Clashes erupted early Wednesday at a pro-Palestinian protest camp at the University of California, Los Angeles, with counterdemonstrators repeatedly throwing objects and trying to dismantle barricades at the camp. On the opposite side of the country, police in New York City cleared a pro-Palestinian protest site at Columbia University where demonstrators had occupied a campus building.
Officials at UCLA declared the protest, which is seeking to have the university divest from Israel, to be unlawful and in violation of university policy. The protesters and counter-protesters were initially apart from each other late Tuesday, but the situation turned more violent in the early morning hours as the counter-protesters shot fireworks, advanced on the camp barricade and repeatedly launched objects at the protesters.
There were small clashes between the two sides in front of the barricade, and while police deployed to the area at the request of university leaders, officers did not immediately separate the two sides.
